Drivetrain Issue. Needing Input!

eastwest2300 · 02-25-2018, 07:02 PM

Hey fellas,
I've had my Z up on jackstands working on the brakes, and just this last weekend, I was underneath it, checking everything out, looking for any issues.. I came across this. I'm hoping some of you veterans can help me out.

As I was working my way from the front of the car, to the rear, just past the transmission bell housing, I noticed a tremendous amount of black particles, almost like soot, as I started to wipe away some of it, I noticed that a rubber grommet/seal was 85% completely obliterated (this was the black particles, come to find out) and was spread out everywhere in the general area. It was like the rubber had been dropped in a blender.

See pics.

My question is, what was it? Do I need to get it replaced? Should I be alarmed?
